Vessel borders detection, especially the external adventitia layer, plays a central role in morphological measures and, thus, their segmentation feeds development of medical imaging techniques. Deterministic approaches fail to yield optimal results due to the large amount of IVUS artifacts and vessel borders descriptors. We propose using classification techniques to learn the set of descriptors and parameters that best detect vessel borders. Statistical hypothesis test on the error between automated detections and manually traced borders by 4 experts show that our detections keep within inter-observer variability.", optnote="IAM;MILAB", optnote="exported from refbase (http://refbase.cvc.uab.es/show.php?record=1549), last updated on Fri, 08 Jul 2016 11:11:23 +0200", file=":http://refbase.cvc.uab.es/files/HGR2005c.pdf:PDF" }
